Deck overview

This Esper artifact tokens deck is helmed by the partner pair Wernog, Rider's Chaplain and Hargilde, Kindly Runechanter. The primary game plan leverages Wernog's ETB/leave triggers to generate a steady stream of Clue tokens, while Hargilde provides colorless mana exclusively for artifact spells and activations. The deck then multiplies that token value through cards like Academy Manufactor and Worldwalker Helm, and uses a dense flicker package (Deadeye Navigator, Displacer Kitten, Teleportation Circle, etc.) to repeatedly re-trigger powerful ETBs. Win conditions are varied: infinite mana from Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake into a draining Torment of Hailfire or Marionette Master; extra turns via Time Sieve; or an overwhelming artifact-creature army with Cyberdrive Awakener or Rise and Shine. The deck is a value-engine that can pivot between combo and combat finishes.
